2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Freddy Peralta Note
	16. Freddy Peralta SP Freddy Peralta followed up a solid 2024 with a true breakout in 2025, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 17 wins over 176.2 innings while finishing top-five in Cy Young voting. His underlying profile supported the leap, as he cut opponents' OPS to .603, limited home runs (2.9 HR%), and maintained an elite strikeout rate (28.2%) with improved run prevention (154 ERA+). The walk rate remains slightly elevated, but his ability to suppress hard contact and miss bats at a high level keeps the ratios stable. Peralta profiles as a dependable fantasy ace worth an earlier pick in drafts. 3 weeks ago

Nolan McLean Note
	28. Nolan McLean SP Nolan McLean's brief 2025 MLB sample showcased frontline skills beneath the surface. His ability to suppress quality contact (89.5 mph average EV, .571 OPS against) paired with above-average command (8.5% BB%) suggests the performance wasn't fluky, even if some ERA regression is likely as innings scale. The 2026 projections point to a heavier workload with solid strikeout totals. Given the bat-missing profile and batted-ball dominance, McLean profiles as a high-upside fantasy option who can outperform his draft cost if he holds a regular rotation spot. 3 weeks ago

Devin Williams Note
	33. Devin Williams RP After years of dominance in Milwaukee, Devin Williams endured a turbulent first season in New York in 2025, posting a 4.79 ERA across 67 appearances despite still striking out 90 batters in 62 innings. The underlying indicators remained far stronger than the surface results (2.68 FIP and 13.1 K/9). FantasyPros' 2026 projections anticipate a rebound, forecasting roughly a 3.26 ERA, 86 strikeouts, and around 30 saves over about 66 innings. Given the massive ERA-FIP gap in 2025 and his sustained strikeout dominance, Williams profiles as a bounce-back fantasy riser if he retains a full-time closing role. 3 weeks ago
